    No. I always felt sick when I was full. I'm content with being satisfied.

    No, because I can still get full. I just can't do it by eating a whole pizza by myself anymore. I do it through salads or other low-calorie foods.

    It depends on what I ate at the time on whether or not it was a good or bad "full" feeling. Some things just feel better in the stomach than others

    Nowadays, being "full" makes me feel like barfing and passing out.

    Come to think of it, it's always made me feel that way. I just didn't realize it wasn't normal.

    I feel full all the time, it just takes less calories to make me feel full

    Tonight I had a steak, potato, and a salad. That was over 2 hours ago and I still feel full.

    Maybe try having one larger meal and make the others smaller.

    You can spread your calories out differently throughout the day.

    Or, also, you could do more exercise so you get to eat more.

    I stopped having the feeling full after a while.
    All you can eats in particular- the only thing that made me stop eating was feeling guilty over wanting to eat when the rest of my family, including two males with fairly active jobs, were stuffed.

    Actually I love the feeling of being empty in the morning and I eat small meals throughout the day to avoid feeling full. So I love that part. Seems like a lot of folks do the intermittent fasting who like that full feeling. Sounds like hell to me, though.

    I also like the feeling of full.....but not stuffed. I'm finally good about stopping at full. But that doesn't mean you can't have a big meal occasionally. As long as your normal routine is on target an occasional meal where you go over is not gonna kill you.

    No. I actually find that feeling unpleasant now.

    If you mean feeling satisfied after a meal, then yes I still experience that now, but like another user mentioned, with a smaller amount of calories now.

    If you mean full like what people experience at all you can eat buffets or after a thanksgiving meal, then no I don't miss that feeling.

    My brain thinks it misses feeling full, but when I am actually 'full' I feel sick and bloated.

    No, I actually hate it. Even though I could afford to eat something heavier now, I still order salads when I go out to restaurants, because otherwise I feel disgustingly bloated for hours afterwards. I never really understood how uncomfortable and debilitating it is until I stopped chasing it.

    I get full a lot faster now (can't even finish restaurant portions!), and I haven't felt the old kind of "full" in ages. Maybe once or twice during my whole MFP journey so far.

    I'm now happy with so much smaller portions, they don't even make me angry anymore.

    Once I switched from eating small mini-meals and snacks all day to 2 - 3 filling, balanced meals with no snacking my belly is always satisfied!

    I'm never stuffed or overly full, but happy and very content and it made losing weight a lot easier for me since I wasn't constantly thinking about what I was going to eat next.

    I stopped eating snacks as well, now I eat larger meals 3x a day. I find that works better for me.

    I've always preferred larger meals over the 6 baby sized servings. I eat 2 large meals a day and one big snack.

    I don't miss the overstuffed feeling, like others I actually find it unpleasant. But I still eat till I'm full, it just take a lot less to get me there and lasts a lot longer and I much prefer that!

    I miss the full feeling. I have to mentally stop myself from eating more otherwise I go way over my calorie limit.

    I think the others are right. Your memory is fooling you. Being stuffed or really full was/is never any good.

    Just be ethical about it. Whenever feasible, one should always try to eat the rude.

    I'm a volume eater, so even in a deficit I had LARGE meals. No spoonful of ice cream or tiny serving of pasta for me. I found low calorie things I loved, and ate a ton of them out of a mixing bowl.
